Exclusive Video: A Lap of Sebring with André Lotterer

Hang on, we're about to take a lap of Sebring, one of the most famous and long-lasting road racing tracks in the U.S. We'll be in an Audi driven by a co-winner of last year's 24 Hours of Le Mans, André Lotterer. The young German ace has an intimate knowledge of the track and will explain how he will be driving the many corners in the 2012 12 Hours of Sebring.

It's been 60 years since Alec Ulmann staged the first 12-hour race near a sleepy town in central Florida. Although the circuit has been through six iterations, much of what characterizes the track remains. The long concrete runway that was once a training strip for B-17 pilots, and is now the back straight. The fact that Sebring is famous for its bumpy surfaces.

There are 17 corners in the track's current 3.7-mile configuration. Those corners range from high speed (Turn 1) to the Hairpin (Turn 7) to the long and rough 180-degree Turn 17. It's an excellent spectator circuit.

The weather promises to be ideal for racing cars with a prediction of 86 degrees and no rain for race day. No predictions on who will win.
